I had gall stones and had my gall bladder removed.. The surgery is very easy, much less invasive than years ago.. They make a little incision in your belly button, one in the middle, one off to the side, each about 3/4-1 inch in length.. I was up, eating lunch and going home 2 hours after I woke from the surgery.. You will be sore for about 2 weeks.. Not bad at all!Health Question & Answer
I had to have mine taken out the old fashioned way, an incision, due to complications.. I was in the hospital for about a week - the first couple in ICU due to other complications not really related to the surgery (I had walking pneumonia when I went in and didn't know about it).. Then I recovered at home for about 5 weeks before I could return to work.. No big issues with pain after the first couple of days.. Even then, I only asked for pain meds a couple of times and it was really to help me sleep..Health Question & Answer
